East of India's Hong Kong Office (1 Viewer)

[Steven Chong]

While in Hong Kong, I visited Ken Clarke-Jervoise of the East of India Company. He was working on his new Roman line which is expected to be launched in June, 2008. The detailing is amazing.

Steven-

Thanks for posting- I hope we hear from Ken sometime soon!! I have seen from other sources that the Pathian archers have been released.

Love his office- if I had a such a beautiful panoramic view, I would really be prone to creativity.

I don't think I'd get much done with a view like that out my office window. Thanks for sharing your photos and trip to East of India Land.

Ah come on Shannon. Isn't beautiful southeastern Minnesota beautiful enough for you. Or maybe its the snow and ice and miles and miles of nothing but hard wood trees and river bluffs that bother you

If you want a really spectacular view, you should come up here to westcentral Minnesota and see the vast terrian of absolutely NOTHING BUT FLAT PRAIRIE AND SNOW

Ken told me the Persian calvary figures were just shipped out.

Great pictures Steven and thank you for posting them and spending the time to come round and see us. I hope you had a safe trip home.

Yes the Parthian cavalry archers are just in and ready for shipping.

A few of you commented on the view, which I agree is great, but rarely do I have a chance to see it! Steven visited on a bad day pollution wise .. I guess King & Country were producting another strictly limited set of 1000 pieces at the time , so with the smoke blowing down from southern China it was a little hazy.

This is what is looks like on a good day when East of India do a production run!

Hi Ken,

That is a truly beautiful setting. The fantastic view parallels the products you produce. Thank you for showing us how calm, beautiful, and pleasent an East of India production run appears!

Best wishes for a great holiday season!

Warmest personal regards,

Pat

Thank you Pat, and of course may I wish you, and indeed all other fellow collectors a VERY HAPPY feative season.

I am just updating our website this afternoon and Steven's pictures reminded me suddenly of what the office used to look like 4 years ago when we first moved in.

For those interested here is a site link.
